Go Team Green! Hot Links (8/16 – 8/20)

Are you seeing green—by going green?  It’s no secret that many efforts to make businesses eco-friendly are also eco-nomically friendly to the wallets of small-business owners and the self-employed.  But is that all there is to the buzz?

Natural resources and other aspects of environmentally aware business practices such as sustainable development or natural disaster recovery provide fertile launching pads for adaptable entrepreneurs.  Small Biz Survival pointed out that natural resources could be the next wave of opportunity.  Making an even bigger splash is the New Orleans’ push for renewed economic development through public-private partnerships.

Business Week urged the business world to learn from nature's example; namely, how to work as a team.  What better way to create jobs right here in the U.S. by ruralsourcing

Feeling inspired to save the planet and generate an income in the process?  Well, then it’s a good thing that CNN reported that now banks are offering more loans to small biz

How could your business go green and make some green?

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers



Kristin Oberlander
- In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way stops.

Katie Vlietstra - As Director of Government Affairs, I work to explain how actions on Capitol Hill can impact the self-employed. I love D.C. and have made my home in Capitol Hill, where I live with my fiancé and black Labrador, Coltrane. We love playing volleyball and softball on the National Mall.

Molly Nelson
- I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

Kristie Arslan
- As President, one of my chief roles is to educate legislators and the media on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not speaking out for our members, I spend my time helping my husband with his small business.
